Great news for schools that receive a combination of online enrollments and paper enrollments. You can now add any paper enrollment form details directly to Funnel. Simply navigate to your enrollment form and click ‘Add an entry’ to add in the new family’s details.

Filter leads by the number of guardians
We’ve just added a brand-new lead filter property in Funnel! Users can now choose to filter leads by the number of guardians that are related to them.
How does this come in handy? You could use this new filter to clean up your data by checking for and merging any duplicates in Funnel.
Or perhaps you need at least two guardian details for your lead by the time they reach the application stage within your enrollment pipeline? You can now filter your leads by ‘<2 guardians’ to see which applications will need to be followed up to add the details for a second guardian.
Choose a font that suits your school's branding!
Users can now choose between 13 different web-based fonts for each of their Funnel communications. This will allow for schools to find a font that communicates their tone of voice and suits their brand guidelines.
The fonts we've added are:
Add dedicated domains to forms
We’ve improved the domains for your school forms by adding form specific URLs! If your school has an enrollment form the domain can now be set to a short, easy to read dedicated domain such as enroll.school.com.
Export a list of leads that have 'disallow communication' enabled
Within Funnel, you can now perform a search and bulk export of leads who have a guardian marked ‘disallow communication’. This provides you with a list of leads or contacts to exclude from your email communication.
Introducing the Engage SIS Integration
The Digistorm Funnel integration with Engage School Information System is now live! This new integration allows for the information that is collected in your school online enrollment forms to be directly transferred into your Engage system. Not only will this help save time for your admissions team but you can rest assured that the transfer of data is secure and effective!
New personalization token for email communications
We’ve added new personalization tokens to help users address families and individuals more gracefully. You’ll now be able to address two guardians on a formal or informal basis and account for guardians with different surnames. We’ve also updated the order in which names appear so that the nominated primary guardian appears first. Never fear, your school will always be able to choose and change who the primary guardian is.
Manage communication recipients in Funnel
We’ve updated how you manage your recipients for Funnel communications so you can now choose contacts from a combination of lists, segments, individual leads, or events. You will now have increased visibility available on who’s receiving the communications and who’s not. As a user you can view a list of excluded recipients and the reason why the communication did not successfully send. This information will help you clean and keep your data up to date.
